Good Night, Sleep Tight

3 Replies

Paul slept through the night last night! Mommy is very happy.

Paul slept from 9:30 p.m. until 4:45 a.m. Mommy slept from 10:15 p.m. to 4:45 a.m. It felt so good!

Question: How do I get him to do that again?

Paul’s Blessing Day

Pictures of Paul in his first suit and pictures from Paul’s blessing day.

It was a lovely blessing. I’ll try to share some of it at a later time. Paul slept through all of sacrament meeting and all of Sunday School. He is such a good boy!

Smiles

Incipe, parve puer, risu cognoscere matrem.
Begin, baby boy, to recognize your mother with a smile.
—-Virgil, Eclogues: Book 4, Line 60

I went shopping without the family on Saturday. Shortly after I came home, I went to change Paul’s diaper. As I put him on the change table, he looked up at me and smiled! It was delightful.

There is chance it was still a reflexive smile and he didn’t recognize me or intend to smile. But it was delightful all the same. I look forward to more!

Paul’s First Week

3 Replies

Paul had a lot of firsts this week. Last Sunday, he breathed for the first time. He also cried for the first time. In the past week, Paul also learned to eat really well and to mess his pants! He is a natural sleeper. Sometimes we have to wake him up to remind him to eat. Other times (when night comes), he likes to stay awake and fuss for attention. No sleeping then!

Dad stayed home from work all last week. Father and son had a great time together. Dad had to go back to work yesterday, but that just means Mom gets Paul all to herself!

Overall, he’s a very good boy. We are so glad to have him in our family.

Here are some pictures from the first week of his life.
